Care home fish and chips in Homerton, fried fresh
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to. For staff thank-you lunches at the home and open days for families, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Care homes in Homerton often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December visits in Homerton are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Questions from Homerton
Could you trade in Millfields Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Homerton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
